Expansion into Czechia is a natural step for Slovak businesses: a closely connected language environment, a nearby market and familiar surroundings. The first practical question is: do I have to travel to form a company? No. Here is the full remote process.
1. Initial decisions
Before preparing documents, decide on the company name (we check potential confusion in the Czech register), its Czech registered office (your own premises or an office provider), shareholders and directors, registered capital and business activities. We can advise on all of these. For example, capital above the statutory minimum is often worthwhile for credibility with banks.
2. Formation documents and power of attorney
We prepare the complete set of documents, including a power of attorney, enabling us to arrange the Czech notarial deed on your behalf. This is the key to remote formation.
3. Signing in your own city
You sign the documents with official signature certification, either at our office (we certify signatures as lawyers) or before any notary or at a registry office.
4. Czech notary and direct registration
The notarial deed is executed under the power of attorney, and the notary registers the company directly in the commercial register, faster than through the court. The process includes trade notification and tax registrations.
5. Completion
You receive the commercial register extract, company identification number (IČO) and complete documentation. The Czech s.r.o. can start trading, typically within 10 working days of receiving the signed documents.
Common questions from Slovak founders
Can I be a director without living in Czechia? Yes, without restriction. Do I need a Czech bank account in advance? Not for the usual capital structure. What about accounting? We can connect you with a vetted Czech accounting firm.
